What if I only want to come to one or two of the events?
No worries! Just register for the individual competitions that you would like to attend.

If I register for each of the three individual comps, am I still eligible to compete in/win the series?
Yes! If you know you want to compete in all three comps it's best to enter the series though-that way you guarantee a space for yourself at all three competitions in one shot.

I want to stop being such a lame chach and become a member of the organizations that support my climbing access! How do I do this?
Welcome to the real world! Let Triple Crown be the first to congratulate you on your question! Simply visit the Southeastern Climbers' Coalition website at www.seclimbers.org - information on how to become a valuable member of the climbing community is there. You can also register at any of the three Triple Crown competitions.

What are the categories of the competition?
Male and Female Categories are:
Male Novice: V0-V2
Male Intermediate: V3-V5
Male Advanced: V6-V8
Male Open: V9-Vsick

Female Novice: V0-V2
Female Intermediate: V3-V4
Female Advanced: V5-V6
Female Open: V7-Vsick

Unisex Categories:
Junior: 12yrs and under
Ancient Hard Person: 35yrs and up

Important Note: Choose a category based on whether or not you could complete two previously unclimbed problems (in a given day) of that grade. That will likely put you into the appropriate category.

I'm really lame and I'd like to compete in a category below my real climbing level so I can win a great prize. What should I do?
Don't come to this event. Space is limited and we want only excited climbers who encourage each other. The judges of the Triple Crown reserve the right to "bump" competitors into a higher category if their score reflects they should belong there. Make this event more fun for everyone and do your best to place yourself into the appropriate category.

I'm from ******** and I've never climbed in the Southeast. Is there anything that I should know about the grades down there? Are they hard, soft or what?!?
Ratings are very subjective. One person's V1 is another's V6. Suggestions on ratings are welcome but don't complain about any unfair advantages due to height, weight, health, or religious beliefs.
